Question:

Hi, I am the very happy registered user of CAM Wizard and I love the internet access. I was wondering if it is possible to embed the live cam image into my home page so that I can have the live feed shown on screen at the same time as all my other links. I am using MS Frontpage to create my homepage.

Answer:

Yes this can be done, if you can already view your cam using your permanent URL, then simply add "/image1.jpg" onto the end of your permanent URL as shown in the setup screen.

So the URL you should use as the image source on your webpage should look something like this:

"http://www.cwzd.com/cam.cgi?000035F450F12863/image1.jpg"

After the image has loaded, you can hit your browsers F5 button to refresh the feed.

Of course if you've chosen another name for the cached image in the HTTP Setup Screen then you will have to add that into the end istead of "image1.jpg".

HTTP Not working?

If you can't establish a HTTP server connection with CAM Wizard then you can use the FTP upload option:

1. Read the FTP Setup Screen instructions
2. Follow the FTP remote viewer instructions

Question:

I use the FTP option to upload live images from multile cameras to my webspace, is there any easy way that I can have my webpages show these cameras as live images?

Answer:

Yes, there is a way to do this:

1. Copy the code between the two horizontal lines below into an empty notepad window.

2. Change the image filenames in the code (shown in red below) to suit your FTP image filepath.
   e.g. change t o:
   "http://www.mysite.com/ftp-folder/image1.jpg"
   "http://www.mysite.com/ftp-folder/image2.jpg"
   etc.

3. Save the notepad text as a HTM file named whatever you like, e.g. "camviewer.htm" .

4. Upload the HTM file to your webspace using FTP or your webspace management pages online. You can place the page wherever you want.

5. Now you can view the page by simply typing its URL (web address) into any web browser.
   e.g. "www.mysite.com/camviewer.htm"
